Falmouth Vineyard Church

We are living in pretty dark times.  Jesus said that he is the Light of the World.  Without his light - we are walking in darkness, so how can we follow him and start reflecting his light?

Throughout the gospel of John - Jesus makes 7 “I AM” Statements.  The are controversial, they are exclusive and they can only be made by the Son of God.  This week we launch into the series by looking at Jesus statement to the crowd - “I am the bread of life.”  He had just fed the 5000 by the lake and the crowd follow him to get more food.  Instead of food - Jesus offers them b...

Although his first miracle - we can learn something of he nature of the Kingdom of God in this miracle and also that it points towards the cross and resurrection.

We are so glad you could join us for our Easter Sunday service!  Although we are in "lock down" we can still celebrate the fact that "JESUS IS RISEN!" For more information on smallgroups - go to www.falmouthvineyard.org/smallgroups

Jesus enters Jerusalem as the unexpected King of an upside down Kingdom.  He confronts us with a decision to we recognise and except Him as Lord, Saviour and King or not.

This week Nathan spoke to us about the importance of abiding in Christ during this time of upheaval and change.  It’s an incredible opportunity to reset our rhythms to those of Jesus.  Spending time with Jesus through the Holy Spirit in Silence, Solitude, Fasting, Praying, Worship and Reading the Bible.

🙌🏼 🙏🏼   Join us for our first online adventure! This is the start rather than the finished article. We hope to be able to include worship as we get to grips wi...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jsF1ib6OG8 We are going to be streaming our talks live on YouTube over the next few months so we can still connect with everyone.  This is the start rather than the finished arti...

You can listen to the Vision Talk 2020 here! “we believe God has called us to establish an extravagantly welcoming, authentic community that is empowered by the Holy Spirit and rooted in the bible to see Cornwall come alive through the hope and freedom that Jesus brings.”

These books are amazing in telling the story of the return from exile.  In this, the first in the series, Nathan gives the background on how the 2 tribes of Judah end up in Babylon and how it fits with the bigger picture of the Old Testament.  Our prayer is that God would stir the hearts of those returning to Him during this series.

When Jesus left the Last Supper table and washed the disciples feet he was showing them the nature of a servant - to put the needs of others first.  What does this teach us about our role in serving in the life of the church?

We want all of our small group leaders and groups to be rooted in Jesus, passionate about Jesus, so that we can all grow in Him.  We can’t be built up in Jesus unless we are rooted in His words, unless we are reading and wrestling with the bible. Part of being built up in Jesus and rooted in Him is allowing Holy Spirit to fill us continually.  Small groups are safe places where we can wo...

This week we unpack the last phrase in Ephesians 2:21 that refers to the Church as the Dwelling Place of God.  If that is true - how should it change our expectation of what could happen when we gather together.

Part 3 of our "The Church Jesus wants to build series” - we look at is the power of invitation and Nathan encourages us all, that because Jesus has invited us into his life – we can open our lives up and invite people into the adventure that God is leading us on.

Part 2 of our "The Church Jesus wants to build series” - Jesus is the cornerstone and the head of the church - we grow out of relationship with Him and each other.

Nathan talks about the church we believe Jesus is building in Falmouth from Acts 2:42-47 which describes the meetings of the early church.  We look at our priorities and the why behind some of the decisions we make.

It starts with compassion and our hearts being softened and our eyes being opened to those around us.  There’s a call to get on our knees to pray and to contend…  We seek intimacy with God in his presence, in prayer, in worship and in His Word. But we don’t stay there. We are sent with authority to be hope and to bring life to every environment, spilling that contagious hope into our com...

Paul Cruchley, Site and Worship Pastor from Cardiff Vineyard expands on the subject of the authority we have as followers of Jesus to do the stuff Jesus did.

In the last in the series on the Kingdom of God - Nathan talks on the subject of compassion and poverty in our county and what our response should be as followers of Jesus.  It is a talk that digs into the question of “why” we should act rather than “what” we should do.  Key Passage is Isaiah 61.  The challenge is to allow ourselves to be moved by compassion as Jesus and this comes...

Identity is such a huge subject but it’s important to realise what, who or when in our lives forms our identity.  In this talk we look at how our actions flow from our sense of identity.  We look at how our identity can be formed and then how we can get our identity from God through being “in Christ.”  Key passage is Ephesians 1:1-14. *Massive thanks to John Mark Comer for the sourc...

In Dave's first preach at Falmouth Vineyard he unpacks the events of the last supper that Jesus shares with his disciples. Dave reminds us that in this event Jesus is redfining our own story, through the cross he is reconciling us to God and making us ready for His mission.

In the third part of the series on on the Kingdom of God we look at how we can prioritise "seeking the Kingdom” above all other priorities and values.  We were also blessed to have Mark Epton interviewed where he expanded how they have been seeing the Kingdom of God in Cardiff.

In the second part of the series we look at the different language Jesus uses to describe the Kingdom of God and how that explains the tension that we live in.  There is sickness but also healing. There’s great love and generosity but also hatred and greed. There’s incredible beauty but unimaginable violence. There is immense joy and inconsolable grief.

“The Kingdom of God is what things would be like if Jesus ran everything.”  Jesus came announcing the Kingdom of God was near.  What did the crowd understand by this phrase?  Nathan looks at the Old Testament narrative of the Kingdom of god leading up to the time Jesus breaks onto the scene.

CS Lewis writes "Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and, if true, of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important."    So on Easter Sunday, as we celebrate our first baptism, we look at why the resurrection is so important and how it changes everything.

On Palm Sunday Nathan unpacks the events of the day - Lamb Selection Day 4 days before passover.  We look at the expectation of the King - what would he be like and what would he do?  Jesus goes far beyond our expectations by redeeming us and dealing with the root cause all suffering.
